Blender compatibility with glibc v2.12
By only looking at the filenames, v2.78 has releases for glibc 211 and 219.

Another option would be compiling blender yourself, that will allow you to patch any glibc calls that aren't compatible with the older library version. As it is only the latest version that doesn't use the older library, I'd expect it to be only a matter of linking it with the older library rather than making any code changes. Any incompatible code changes that have been made can be found in blenders source code repository so you can also see any related code changes that will be affected by the change.
